He made us not miss losing Casper as much… Seemed like a nice man through listening to his commentations….

RIP Todd and condolences to his family….

Once a Raider, ALWAYS a RAIDER!!

What a special, special person he was and an awesome player too.

Casper was a better blocker but Christensen had hands of gold, there was nothing he couldn’t catch.

RIP, big guy.

Unfortunately for Todd he played for the Raiders, because with his talent, Pro bowls,and super bowl hardware he would be in Canton if he played for some suck up franchise like N.E. or Dallas.

Wed, 13 Nov 2013 22:37:18 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2224290#comment-2940701One of my favorite Raiders ever. I got to meet and talk with him years after he retired and he was hosting American Gladiators. I went to the show in uniform with my son (the Army gave us free tickets if we went in uniform). He didn’t know I was a huge Raider and Todd Christensen fan until we started talking. He tooks some pics with my son and me and gave us autographs. One of my favorite memories. I am extremely sad to hear of his passing.

Wed, 13 Nov 2013 21:56:02 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2224290#comment-2940617What a player. He and Ozzie Newsome dominated that position before the era of ‘TEINO’
(Tight End In Name Only) guys. If he played in today’s game, with so called TE’s being split out and gloves that catch the ball for you, he would be unstoppable.

He was an exceptional TE, and so smart and perceptive.

He delivered with such astuteness, the nuances of the game when he was a broadcaster.

His spirit lives on forever.

RIP Todd….

Wed, 13 Nov 2013 20:40:56 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2224290#comment-2940391I’m amazed that anyone would ‘thumbs-down’ any comment about Todd’s passing at such a young age, or the condolences to his family. These SOBs must torture kittens and puppies for fun…Really, guys?

Todd was a class act, and to be remembered as one of the great TEs for an organization that included Dave Casper, that says something…

Thank you for the great and dedicated play… This Bay Area kid sure appreciated you.

RIP, Todd…

He was very entertaining. Didn’t know he was ill.
